Bath tray shopping tips
Take the time to measure your tub – Obviously, you want your bath caddy to be a perfect fit with your tub, but in Australia, they vary a lot. So, whether or not you go for an extendable design, ensure you measure the width of your bathtub at a few different points.
Check for water resistance – Because the last thing you want is a mouldy bathroom accessory, do your due diligence and check that the product you’re looking at is either made with water-resistant materials or coated to withstand water.
Consider the weight of the caddy – If you are likely to need to remove the bath caddy after each use (perhaps because you share the tub with the kids), take into account its weight. Timber styles will be much heavier than plastic and steel.
Opt for a style with slots for tablets – Bathtubs are slippery places, so to avoid losing your iPad to a pit of soapy bubbles, choose a caddy with a built-in slot that holds it firmly in place, even if it gets bumped when you’re getting out.
Think colour schemes – Do you want your caddy to match other accessories, like a decorative ladder or natural laundry hamper? Perhaps you want a caddy to match your black bathroom vanity or your mirrors? Think about coordinating colours and how to make your accessories pop.
FAQs
The best material for a bath caddy is one that is water-resistant and durable. Teak, oak and bamboo are popular choices because they are eco-friendly, hardwearing and elegant. Acrylic and plastic options are a great choice if you are after a more lightweight option or a caddy that extends.
Bath caddies are very useful accessories. Not only do they look sensational by adding texture and colour to the room, but they’re also low-maintenance and great for keeping your bathroom organised and clutter-free. Combined with a comfy bath pillow, they take ‘me time’ to a whole new level.
A bath caddy is great for resting your book, iPad, phone, candle, mug – even your wine glass. Keep in mind that what you put in your bath caddy depends on its design. Some have a safe, dedicated spot to stand iPads and books as well as wine glass holders and indented sections for mugs. Other styles are completely flat, making it easier for items to slide off.
